Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth faces a complex decision of invitees to Prince Philip's funeral in adherence with the Covid-19 guidelines, as not more than 30 people are allowed to partake in the Duke's last rites.

The stripping down of attendees makes only close family members be a part of the funeral and Prince Philip's closest friend Penelope 'Penny' Knatchbull is one among the 30 attendees with an invite to witness the Duke being laid to rest.
